• The batch process used to download and upload a route's meter reads.
• Whether a route is downloaded as part of the service cycle schedule download process.

Description The description of the route type.
Batch Control This defines the batch process used to download the meter reads for routes of this type. If you have multiple meter reading device formats you will have multiple batch processes - one for each format.
Process Routes In Cycle Turn this switch on if routes of this type have their meter reads downloaded when their service cycle is downloaded. This switch will be on for most types of routes. A classic example of a type of route where this switch is off would be a route containing translators (a translator sends in reads when it is polled).
